"Hopefully I'll see enough of them unleashed that I'll leave some sort of memorable legacy or at the very least a lasting footprint to prove I was here....and while I was here, I contributed something to the fabric of creativity. Having embraced Witchcraft in recent years, I've begun to weave the gossamer threads of imagination with the ages old mysteries of magic and the occult. What will spring forth from this swirling brew, I do not know. But it could prove very interesting indeed." - Bob Hobbs, March 2009
